Is there any way to log out of the admin page? :smiley:

31

No. Only way - clean cookie, restart server. That’s will be implemented in web version.

32

Is there any way to change the admin username/password? I’ve tried from the admin page itself, but after that I cannot login anymore, LOL

33

Should work I tested that. Also when you change user name you have to change password. You can also specify this in server.properties on initial server start. But you have to remove admin file before that.

34

Can’t change username, but I can password, but that’s good enough for now :slight_smile:

35

Forget the admin account, use your own and give it admin rights :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

36

But you still should change the default password :wink:

37

Ay it worked, had to spamm the save changes button 3-4 times :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: NVM.

@Dmitriy, we dont have to worry about admin@blynk.cc account getting access if its not specified in this list?
“allowed.users.list=”

I mean that account does not have some kind of super access that bypasses that restriction?

38

This is awesome. Thank you for making cert generation easier.

@Dmitriy

I have a rather basic question but may also be of interest to the community.

I am running an PC Apache http web server on port 80 on my local domain, and https on 443.
On the same PC I am also running Blynk local server v0.24.3

I need to keep my Apache web server on port 80 and 443 respectively.
How would I configure my port forwarding to also support Blynk http and https server on same PC ?

44

@mars There is no way to do that. You need either have Blynk on port 80 or Apache on port 80. In case you can’t make Blynk run on port 80 you need to manual generate certs and manage them via own scripts/flows.

45

mmmm thought you might say that :frowning2:

46

There are instructions for Apache and Let’s Encrypt in web. But yeah, it wouldn’t be simple.

47

any tips instructions on port forwarding for people in the community using Windows PC for their local server as Windows does not use iptables

48

if anyone in the community can help that would be great… i.e. setting up automated free certificates with Let’s Encrypt with local versions of blynk server running on Windows 10.

Well, there actually is a way to do this, but it’s very advanced and it would require a reverse proxy like a NetScaler and a static IP on your WAN interface.

A NetScaler, or any reverse proxy for that matter, can route different domainnames to seperate servers. E.g. blynk.somedomain.com would be forwarded to you Blynk server and web.somedomain.com would be forwarded to your apache instance. Both could be running on the same machine I think, but it would be easier to run it on separate machines.
